Stash Issue 67

Stash, the Monthly DVD Magazine of animation, VFX and motion graphics for advertising and broadcast

Stash 67 drops 108 monstrous minutes of visual inspiration and Behind the Scenes goodies directly into your head and then adds 11 MP3s from Just Friends Records – just for fun.

Your adventure begins in Germany as we open this issue with three stunning automotive clips: Elastique and Deine Freunde reveal the sleek and sensual side of Mercedes; Radium and Reel FX conjure ringed romance with their spectacular Audi spec; while Asylum bust out a spectrum of VFX techniques to fuel 60 years of Porsche classics.

Glassworks in London teams with star creature designer Wayne Barlowe to create a little sci-fi for Guinness before Wieden + Kennedy and The Mill switch the mood with their hilarious take for Old Spice. Psyop is back with cute and minimal characters for Nurofen, Superfad squeezes every known animation style and VFX trick plus Shakira into the new SEAT spot, and then the Mothership lands with seven show-stopping launch films from directors Brent Bonacorso, Nathan Love, David Rosenbaum, Andres Rosas Hott, Sil van der Woerd and Pierre Michel.

ZOIC slams open the broadcast design and title section with visceral Nascar action for ESPN, Lithuainian director Rimantas Lukavicius and Korb bring the surreal power of music down to earth for MTVHD, Lisbon’s Captive channel a retro 007 vibe for the “To Russia with Love” exhibit, Tactic in Sydney ramp up the fun for the new ABC3 children’s channel with a pop-vox treatment, and Dutch studio Soulbase let loose with their maniacal Data DJ for FITC Amsterdam.

Music videos are here of course: The first is a jaw-dropper by Swedish master Jonas Odell for The Hours “Ali in the Jungle” followed by mesmerizing stop motion work for Nobody Beats the Drum by Amsterdam director Rogier van der Zwaag.
